RE: No argument with your text, only with your header.

Well, you also have to have a topnotch cartridge. Your DL-301II is not exactly state-of-the-art. Try a Denon DL-S1 or an Audio Technica ART7. These are two of the very best low-output moving coils available. I have a friend with a VPI HRX turntable with 12-inch 3D tonearm and an ART7 cartridge. He uses an E.A.R. 864 phono preamp and his system is one of the best sounding vinyl rigs I've ever heard. He also owns a DL-S1 cartridge as do I, and that one sounds awfully good, too.

Since money is no object for you, why don't you buy both of those cartridges and see if they don't change your mind about low-output moving coils.

Best regards,
John Elison
